mmuehlba Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well after looking at the pics of that auction in Ohio I now know what peltier smilies are . I also know I have a lot of them now I have to think if I saved them or gave then away Rich at Christmas . but I think if I did not give them away they will show up again ??

Steph Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm intrigued. But I don't know what to ask. Which auction was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg11 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Is that a repo box, I've never seen one, pretty neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Whenever I see "repo" I wonder if it means repossessed. Should it be "repro"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Marie Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Just curious, do you think they only came in that yellow/mustard color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Andrea, you are correct about "repro". It's our "school background". It's like the men pronounce Vitro Agate as "veetro agate". It got it's name from the Vitrolite Company - pronounced vit like sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 In order to be a repro, it would have to be a copy of a box originally produced by Peltier. I would consider it a fantasy box and I believe the marbles were produced around the same time as the Novas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Oh, and, I don't have the box right in front of me, but I think the marbles were around 3/4 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Marie Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Okay, I realized I had a blond moment, so you all can laugh now..... Heeeellllloooooo yellow smilies.....I had some red ones that looked similar, that was the only reason I asked earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
